"Better than a thousand hollow words is one word that brings peace." -Gautama Buddha

"One day we must come to see that peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but that it is a means by which we arrive at that goal. We must pursue peaceful ends through peaceful means." -Martin Luther King Jr."We must be prepared to make heroic sacrifices for the cause of peace that we make ungrudgingly for the cause of war. There is no task that is more important or closer to my heart." -Albert Einstein

"Peace will come wherever it is sincerely invited." -Alice Walker"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of creative alternatives for responding to conflict." -Dorothy Thompson"One little person, giving all of her time to peace, makes news. Many people, giving some of their time, can make history." -Mildred Lisette Norman
